Studying in a Guatemalan University

9 years ago
I'm trying to seek information for an international student studying in a Guatemalan University. I want to study in Universidad Francisco Marroquin in Guatemala City. I'm from the USA and I'd like to know what the process is like? Do Guatemalan universities normally accept international students? I hold a Guatemalan citizenship (dual US/Guatemalan citizenship) from behalf of my father so I have no issues regarding residency and immigration issues in the country. If this were to happen it would be my sister and I going abroad to study. I get that living in Guatemala as 2 young women alone is a bit dangerous but it's not like we haven't been there before. As a matter of fact we lived there for 3 years with my family when we were younger before we moved back to the US. We have family in other departments of the country as well. Still I'd like to know the danger level for us two living in the city? What zones do you recommend us moving to? We're looking into renting an apartment preferably in a gated community. Any tips and information are greatly appreciated!
